This length konvertering calculator works bygd typing units (up to 11 in the same calculation) into the tool.

The length converter then returns your results in each enhet in real time. Click on the enhet name if you want to perform length konvertering to a different enhet than the default ones chosen bygd the Omni team.

Once you've mastered lengths and their konvertering, you can apply that knowledge to circles in our circle length calculator. If you are looking to omvandla between units of area, another tool we would recommend fryst vatten the square footage calculator.

To find out what the konvertering factors are between nine popular length units, betalningsmedel out this length konvertering table:

We've decided to round some of the konvertering factors to passform into this table.

Thus, some of these values are not exact, but they still have reasonable accuracy.

If you are wondering how to quickly omvandla between different units from the same struktur, kvitto out these two simple length konvertering charts:

1. Metric measurement system

As an example:

• 6 km = 6 × 1000 = 6000 m
• 180 cm = 180 / 100 = 1.8 m

1. Imperial / US measurement system

For instance:

• 5 yd = 5 × 3 = 15 ft
• 144 in = 144 / 12 = 12 ft

Moreover, we've decided to man a list of the most popular length conversions.

   Have you ever wondered how many feet there are in a mile?

The inch (abbreviate as in or ") fryst vatten a enhet of length in Imperial / the US struktur. The measure comes from - bygd some definitions - the width of a human thumb.

In some languages, e.g. Norwegian, Afrikaans, Italian or French, an inch fryst vatten derived from the word for thumb or, in some cases, it's the same word. In the 14th century, the inch was defined bygd the king of England as three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end, lengthwise.
Inch definition varied through the ages but during the 1950's an international standard was accepted, and since then the inch fryst vatten lika to exactly 2.54 centimeters.

One inch fryst vatten also lika to 1⁄36 yard, 1⁄12 of a foot or 1⁄63360 of a mile.

On a daglig grund, inches are used in US, UK, Canada and other countries which were formerly part of the British Empire.

Height, length, width may be measured in inches, also many sizes are expressed in units derived from inches (e.g.

shoe size).

What can be measured in inches - not only in the US, but worldwide?

• screen sizes of smartphones, monitors, TVs, (specifically, the diagonals of rectangular screens)
• screen resolution in pixels per inch (for more data, head to our ppi calculator)
• tire sizes - e.g. bil or bike wheels,
• different tools and pipes sizes
• some idrott utrustning uses the values in inches e.g.

  for archery

One international inch fryst vatten then lika to:

• 10,000 tenths
• 1,000 thou / mil
• 100 points or gries
• 72 PostScript points
• 6 computer picas
• 3 barleycorns
• 2.54 centimeters exactly
• 0.999998 US Survey inches
• 1/3 or 0.333 palms
• 1/4 or 0.25 hands
• 1/12 or 0.08333 feet
• 1/36 or 0.02777 yards

The foot (abbreviate as ft or ') fryst vatten a enhet of length in an Imperial / US struktur.

It's a measurement based on the human body as well, as the name indicates. The enhet was standardized in the 1950s, and since then it's lika to 0.3048 meters exactly:

The use of feet has been around since ancient times bygd many different civilizations, but the actual length differed between them. The foot was used, e.g. in:

• Ancient Rome: 1 foot = 11.6 inches (295.7 mm).
  6 foot 6 = exactly 78 decimal inches.

  That was a standard foot, but in some provinces it could be as much as 13.2 inches (334 mm)

• Greece: 1 foot = 10.6-13.8 inches (270 - 350 mm)
• Indus cities during the Bronze Age: 1 foot = 13.2 inches (333.5 mm)
• Egypt, the foot equivalent = 12 inches (304.8 mm)

In England, the foot measure also changed through the ages - it started from långnovell standards, then Belgic Celts foot of 13.2 inches or Welsh foot came and went.

The feet definition varied from distrikt to område, city to city, later even the kings changed the measure according to their desire - e.g., Henry inom was said to have ordered a new standard based upon his ledd. Then Edward II of England introduced some kind of standardization bygd introducing the statute foot which was 10⁄11 of the old foot. The sista agreement on the foot length came much later, in 1959, when the international yard and pound agreement was accepted.

Since then, yard in the United States and countries in the British Commonwealth fryst vatten lika to exactly 0.9144 meters. As yard was defined, the foot could be calculated as well.

Thus, it's lika to:

In the US, two types of feet are used: the international foot and the survey foot:

1. International foot

   Also named the standard foot; it's the one standardized in the 1950s. Used widely in many applications, it's lika to 0.3048 m:

   , where we used the sign to emphasize it's lika to exactly this value

   The international foot measure corresponds to a human foot with a shoe storlek of 13 (UK) or 14 (US male).

2. Survey foot

   The US survey foot fryst vatten almost identical in measure to the international foot.

   But the word almost fryst vatten the key - the survey foot definition fryst vatten precisely 1200/3937 meters:

   As you can see, it looks like a really tiny difference - something changes at the seventh decimal place! Which fryst vatten a difference of ≈0,609 μm ≈ 609 nm, comparing the one type of a foot to another.

   Why do we even care?

   It's important because the difference fryst vatten negligible if we measure relatively small objects, but it grows significantly if we begin measuring hundreds of thousands of feet, as in mapping or using state plane coordinate struktur (SPCS). Furthermore, the legislation on the survey foot varies between the 50 states:

   • 24 states have legislated that surveying measures should be based on the US survey foot

   • 8 states have decided that it should be made on the grund of the international foot

   • 18 states haven't specified the konvertering factor from metric units

   • The National Institute of Standards and Technology has deprecated the survey foot "except for historic and legacy applications".

     But don't worry too much - if you need the konvertering for your everyday nation surveying or real estate transactions, the difference fryst vatten really negligible for short distances (< 1 mile), so it doesn't matter which definition you settle on.

   There's one other foot measurement - the Indian survey foot.

   It's defined as exactly 0.3047996 m:

Feet - and the whole imperial struktur - are used widely in the US. And almost only there. The US fryst vatten the only industrialized country in the world that hasn't officially adopted the International struktur of Units, also called the metric struktur.

The other two countries using the imperial struktur are Liberia in Africa and Myanmar (also known as Burma) in Southeast Asia. Canadians and the British use a mix of both systems - metric and imperial (e.g. men's height fryst vatten usually expressed in feet combined with inches).

Feet are not widely used outside of the English-speaking world. The only obvious example fryst vatten the measurement of höjd över havsnivån in international aviation.

Meter (British English: metre) fryst vatten the base enhet of length in some metric systems, including the International struktur of Units (SI).

The meter definition changed as scientific methods in measuring developed.

Now it's defined as the length of the path traveled bygd light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.

But how was it characterized before?

• First trials to create the meter definition started in 1790. At that time, The French National Assembly decided that the length of a new meter would be lika to the length of a pendulum with a half-period of one second.

  You can kvitto out how accurate this measure was with our simple pendulum calculator. Type 2 in the pendulum period låda and you'll obtain the pendulum length value.

  Indeed, it's really close to the one meter (0.993621 m).

• In 1973, the circumference of the Earth was chosen as a neutral standard. The meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole:

  , along the Earth's meridian through Paris

• 1799 - 1889, brass, platinum, and the alloy of platinum with 10% iridium meter bars were constructed, still as a grund having Earth's meridian length.

  The 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889 defined the meter as the distance between two lines on a standard dryckesställe of the latter type of alloy. This International Prototype Meter fryst vatten still kept in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Sèvres, nära Paris.

  How long fryst vatten 6.6 inches?

  That meter definition was in force mot 1960 and the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures.

• From 1960 to 1983 the meter was redefined once igen as 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red radiation of krypton 86 beneath specified conditions.

• 17th Conference defined the meter as 1/299,792,458 of the distance light travels in a vacuum in one second, and this meter definition fryst vatten actual to this day.

The table below summor up the chronology of a meter definition (by Cardarelli, 2003).

Imperial and US measurement struktur are not the same thing, but for length measures they are the same (they are non-identical in volume measures, so e.g.

the cup can contain different amount of fl oz from both systems). The only countries which didn't accept the metric units are US, Liberia and Myanmar.

Six most often used US / imperial length units were put into our length converter:

• thousandth of an inch (mil / thou),
• inches (in),
• feet (ft),
• feet and inches,
• yards (yd),
• miles (mi).

There are two other length units, but we excluded them from this length converter on purpose: a furlong's konvertering ratio fryst vatten not uniformly defined, and a league used to be a popular measure in europe and Latin amerika but fryst vatten no längre an tjänsteman enhet anywhere.

However, you can find them below, with the most often used values:

To omvandla miles per hour to ft:

1. Know that one mile equals 5,280 ft.
2. Multiply the number of miles bygd how many feet there are in one mile.
3. As an easy formula:

Converting metric units of length:

1. 1 mm = 0.1 cm = 0.001 m = 0.000001 km.
2. 1 cm = 10 mm = 0.01 m = 0.00001 km.
3. 1 m = 1,000 mm = 100 cm = 0.001 km.
4. 1 km = 1,000,000 mm = 100,000 cm = 1,000 m.

36 yd = 3,292 cm.

To omvandla 36 yds to cm:

1. Know that one yard equals 91.44 centimeters.
2. Multiply the number of yards bygd how many centimeters there are in one yard.

To omvandla inches of fabric to centimeters of fabric:

1. There fryst vatten 2.54 cm in one inch.
2. To omvandla length in inches to length in centimeters, multiply the number of inches bygd 2.54 (because in every inch, we've got 2.54 cm).
